This week has been full of small magic moments that cause me to stop, take a few seconds to myself, and thank God that I'm alive. I found myself walking across one of the bridges in Florence today and had to pause to stare at the river. This turned into a 5 to 10 minute ordeal so that I could simply contemplate life and the blessings I have been given. My family and friends have been so supportive throughout this adventure to the point where I don't think I can repay them. My hope however, is that you know that I love and thank you all.
From the authentic lunch I shared with my photography class, to the nights out shared with genuine friends, to the small laugh I have to do when everyone freaks out because it's raining slightly, this experience is full of joys that I try to hold on to. I find that the unplanned smiles are often the best.
I leave for Croatia late tomorrow to attend the Ultra Music Festival. It's going to be quite a wild ride. Then, I get to look forward to mom and grandma coming over for a visit. That means I can have wine that costs more than 2 Euro.
To all of you reading this, take a minute out of your day today to admire something beautiful. Make a mental note, and keep it with you for the rest of the day.
With love,
Rhett
Always and forever remember to stop and take time to breathe in the blessings of the day. You are so loved, but you give back in full...! I too am so looking forward to see you soon and for you to show us" your" Florence.
